Thank You! James Twyman, Troubadour of Peace!

On the first of February on a hilltop overlooking Syria there was a 15 min period of prayer/meditation for Peace .  That is why I am thanking James in the title of this post.  Following that period (7AM my time) I posted the following Peace related quotes.  These are not his.  His effort inspired me to put them down here; Now.

The passion of Pope Francis is to again make merciful love the foundation, the center, and the goal of Christianity. Love is not just the basis on which we build everything, but it's also the energy with which we proceed, and it's then the final goal toward which we tend. Love has two lovely daughters, twins called grace and mercy. Like identical twins, they are often indistinguishable: Grace is the inner freedom to be merciful. Mercy is grace in action. And both are the children of love.  Richard Rohr
